Old Italian painting from the first half of the 19th century. Oil painting on canvas depicting a neoclassical subject, a splendid portrait of a young girl in a flowered garden. Painted by a good painterly hand, note the quality of the drapery and naturalistic elements. Painting depicting a girl with her back slightly exposed, picking roses. Figure with androgynous features dressed in a tunic reminiscent of Roman antiquity, typical of Neoclassical representations. The subject may have been depicted as an incarnation of the goddess Flora or in any case as an allegory of Spring.

Beautifully sized painting, ideal to put in a salon, room or study, for antique dealers and interior decorators.
